I particularly like this quote. We've had our share of conflict here, but we managed to work it out together. I believe it brought us closer and made our prayers that much stronger. Each and every person here deserves an equal share of the pie, regardless of the cleanliness of their hands. Each and every one of us matters.

It gives me such a thrill to come here and see people truly caring for each other. It gives me a thrill to see someone come in asking for prayers and/or support and see that person receive an assortment of heartfelt and respectful responses.

Thank you (((everyone))) for making this Sanctuary what it is today.
